Would this even be possible nowadays? As soon as your badge gets disabled typically any access you have to systems gets disabled as well.

- doktrin 14y agoYes, but it would still be de-facto unfeasible in most modern (well-run) organizations. It's no longer a matter of setting up a few boxes in a hallway and dodging a lone manager who happens to be patrolling. Everything from building access onwards is non-trivial to consistently bypass - even with inside help. FWIW, I'm not sure the current culture at Apple would support this either. Every single one of the employees who aided Mr. Avitzur would essentially be putting their careers on the line. Modern day Apple is notoriously stern when it comes to employee transgressions.

He explains how he played outside of the rules. http://www.inc.com/john-mcdermott/eric-simons-interview-young-entrepreneur-squatted-at-aol.html http://www.inc.com/john-mcdermott/eric-simons-interview-youn...
- mc32 14y agoI don't think that example is equivalent. The ex-AOL guy was working on his own stuff and was basically squatting on AOL property. It's not clear he was accessing AOL computer systems and resources and making changes to or contributing to AOL projects. Basically, place to sleep, munch, shower and perhaps free wi-fi.
